We're now in our 23rd week collecting upvotes toward a 1300 USD steel pump, which will bring water up from an aquifer to a thirsty Venezuelan neighborhood.

This project is already in place and ready to make positive change happen - all that's needed is the funding! Have you seen the desperation and mayhem, and have you sensed the need, but have no way to help? M:A-P was created (almost 6 months ago) and stands ready to make a difference - with your support. With international attention now focused on the country, this week's update will skip the 'background' section and political analysis. Instead, it will skip directly to the project update. ![](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmaTpPPrDsoCeSRCkKUCtuMNZtZWLJd3ukRoMVS8Zy2P1C/image.png) Getting this pump for the farm as soon as possible is vital. Water is life! Much appreciation to those who upvoted last week: ![](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmT6rcQLV119HzavETBdHVMN4AntnxLCcN5EdcMgv54T7d/image.png)

Thanks to our steady progress gathering Steem (171+), and the recent upturn in the crypto markets, we're nearing 5% completion!!

Upvoting this post is appreciated so much! 100% goes to the project. Mission Agua-Possible will help many people, and inspire other great projects. It's a group success story, playing out on the Steem blockchain. Together, we're going to dramatically improve the lives of a whole neighborhood that really needs it! DRutter
